Pirate Bay Co-Founder Peter Sunde Has Been Arrested In Sweden

The Pirate Bay co-counder Peter Sunde has been arrested in his home country, Sweden, after a police raid took place on a farm in Skåne Tonganoxie. Peter Sunde has been wanted by Interpol since 2012 over copyright infringement violations related to the Pirate Bay website.

This arrest of Peter Sunde means that only the third co-founder Fredrik Neij is currently a “free man”, the other Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Swartholm Warg has been in prison since late 2012 when he was arrested by Cambodian police and extradited to Sweden to face his 8-month prison sentence for copyright crimes related to the Pirate Bay. In June 2013 Gottfrid Swartholm was also sentenced to an additional two years in prison for Swedish hacking crimes and once that sentence is finished he could be extradited to Denmark where he faces similar charges.

It is expected Peter Sunde will have to serve his 8 month jail sentence in Sweden and could also be subject to large fines.

Well if the film and music industry set the prices of their products reasonably there would be no reason to pirate the product. Pirating was caused by the money grabbing film and music industry in the first place..
